Executive Comments

“We finished the year well, with year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter of 21%,” stated Todd Cravens, Galaxy’s President and CEO. "More importantly, revenue growth exceeded expense growth, resulting in year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA for the first time this year. We will continue to make additions in headcount and other resources to support our long-term growth, but we are hopeful that we can deliver increases in both revenue and adjusted EBITDA in 2018.”

“We had revenue growth of 19% for the year compared to 14% for 2016 and 11% for 2015. We had a small loss for the year but were profitable (before tax expense) in Q4,” said Harry Hagerty, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. “Our cash flow remains strong. We paid down debt by 14% to $9.6 million and were still able to increase cash by more than 50% to $3.5 million. We were comfortably in compliance with the financial covenants in our debt instruments at year-end. In 2018, we will seek to capitalize on our cash and cash flow to reduce the cost and increase the flexibility of our capital position.”
